TOO Cute Tuesday: Linky Par-Tay! #49

Did you see the site redesign I did for my
cutie patootie friend and rad sponsor Polkadots on Parade??
You have to go check it out and let me know what you think!



Redoing her site inspired me to redo some of my buttons!
Check them out!

This week I also partied like a craft rockstar with
Eli's Lids, Polkadots on Parade and Olive Blue.
So fun!
And more about it later this week!


Now onto TOO Cute Tuesday!

I changed the linky party so that the most recently uploaded project will show up as number one. This way everyone gets a chance on top. So, look in the first spot for your project, not at the end. Thanks!!!

Tutorial Thursday: Back to School Survival Kit

JT and I put together a little Back to School Survival Kit
for his teacher.
He was so excited to give it to her.
He said it was her prize for being such a great teacher.
I saw the idea on Pinterest and had done a
similar thing for my students on the first day of school.



I collected most of the items at the Dollar Spot at Target -
even the rad bucket!
Score!!



My favorite item was the mock-frap that I made
from a new Starbucks cup and tulle.
I hid a gift card inside - the perfect thing to help
a teacher get back to the DAILY GRIND :)



Inside we tucked a little note with the list of items and what they were for.
I printed it out on a fancy piece of paper I had left over from
my paper-scrapping days.




JT's teacher sent me a nice email telling me how much
she enjoyed it and my teaching friends
wanted me to bring them one too :)


If you'd like to make your own BTS Survival Kit,
you can download the file for the 4x6 "faceplate"
and a PDF of the list of items HERE.
